Hooray!!!

So, I finally finished one slipper tonight! Yup, just one. It's mighty cute though! The tutorial was quite easy to follow, but ONE slipper, considering that Im a beginning sewer, took me 3 hours! Here's a picture Josh took on his iPhone of my finished dragon slipper on my foot.

What'd ya think??? Im pretty proud of it! Im thinking about adding tails, and hopefully I can get around to making the other one soon!

Blog fever.

Ok, let's face it, I totally suck at this whole blogging thing... My last post was what, 2 MONTHS ago?!?! Wow. Well, my problem is I am constantly blogging in my head, but never actually take the time to sit down and type it all out.

My Boyfriend, Josh, has recently started a new blog about our reptiles, and I'll probably chime in there every once in a while. Go check it out! It's Dieterle's Reptiles over at WordPress.

I've been working on some new crafts lately, and the newest one I've started are these adorable Dragon Slippers from made-by-rae. She said that, in theory, the slippers can be scaled bigger or smaller. I'm making them for me, women's size 7. I hope they turn out well! Rae's blog is full of adorable things for kids and babies plus other cute things like bags and hats! I love it.

Oh, by the way, meet Runder! An Electric Blue Wiliams Day Gecko, possibly the coolest looking gecko ever!
